Wooden sheds have a natural look that can blend in well with garden environments. Despite the strength of wood, over time, untreated and neglected wood can rot, split, warp or become susceptible to [[Mold (fungus)|mold]] and [[mildew]], so wood sheds should be treated for protection with stain and varnish. Wood sheds need regular maintenance. This includes keeping plant matter and debris from piling up beside the walls and on the roof, and occasional rot-proofing with preservatives. Sheds are sometimes also re-stained or varnished at times for aesthetic and wood protection reasons. Fire and, in some regions, [[termite]] attack are also potential problems. There's something appealing and rustic about a well-built shed in the backyard. Whether it's a party area for summer barbecues or simply a place to rest and view your lovely garden, wooden sheds add a sense of warmth and comfort to any backyard.<ref>{{Cite web |first=George |title=Custom Backyard Shed Builders in Ontario {{!}} In The Back Yard |url=https://inthebackyard.ca/ |url-status=live |access-date=2024-02-28 |website=Custom Backyard Shed Builders - inthebackyard.ca |language=en-US}}</ref>
Stains and preservatives can be applied to wood sheds to prevent damage to the wood caused by exposure to rain, damp ground, [[Ultraviolet|UV light]], harsh climatic conditions, [[Fungus|fungal]] attack and wood-boring insects. If a coloured preservative oil or stain is used, a wooden shed can either be made to stand out as a feature within a garden, or to blend in with its surroundings. Red cedar coloured stain is popular. Legislation such as the European Biocidal Products Regulation has reduced the number of effective active ingredients available for wood preservative formulations. For this reason, in recent years, there has been a greater emphasis on preserving wood by keeping it dry, for example through the application of water-repellent "wood protection creams."
